cient m use, and which will do away with the objections ,to. external supports or brackets at the sides of the lamp body that are customarily provided with lamps ot this character.

' My invention comprises novel d tails oi im rovement and combinations of parts that Wi 1 be more fully hereinafter set forth and then ointed out in the. claims.

Re erence is to be had to the tltt't)lll[ ttll ing drawings forming part hereof. wherein.

Figure l is a sectional view of a lamp em- 25'body1ng my invention on the plane of the line 1, l, in Fig. 2; Fig. 2 is.a horizontal section, enlarged, on the plane of the line 2, 2, in Fig. 1; Figs 3 and't-l are details of universal srnporting means for the lamp; Fig. t is a detail perspective of the means for retaining the mirror or reflector in place; Fig. 5 is a detail section illustrating means for supportim my invention uponthe frame of an automobile. l ig. (3 is a similar view of a modification: Fig. 7 is an edge View, lookin in the direction ot the arrows on the dotted line 7. T. in Fig. (3.

In the. drawings the numeral 1 indicates the main casing or body of the lamp. which may be of any suitable construction. shown provided witha swinging door 2 in iisual manner. At 3 are supporting and Strengthening bands secured to body 1. which bands lit against the surface of said body. being shown fitted along and correspont'ling in shape to the inner surface of body 1 so as 'to' bear snugly against said body. bands 3 being shown secured to the body 1 by rivets l. 5. Said rivets 5, are shown holding cap 1 in place on the body. The lower ends of bands 3 project downwardly at 3 through suitable openings in the lamp body and serve as supports therefor. By having the parts 3', 3 made integral amlsuitably riveted or bolted to the lamp body the latter is reinforced and braced and the parts will remain in proper relation. and the necessity of providing bracketsor supports on the extxior of the lamp body is obviated, whereby the main exterior of the lamp body may be left tree and unobstructed. may be easily cleaned. and the cost. of producing the same is reduced. I

The mirror or rellector (3 is shown titted along the rear wall of lampbody l and pro-- vidcd with retaining ring 1' raving the flange T against hich screws} bear. which screws mesh in threaded apertures in brackets "f fastened to bands as by rivets 10. By this means the mirror or reflector can be readily removed and replaced when required by merely opcrating screws 8. and the reflector will be properly retained in position within the lamp, .liange 7 being held tirmly against, the ba k wall 1 of the lamp body.

The projections 3 may he supported in.

any suitable manner. for which purpose 1 have shown several t'orms ot epnstrnctirm. in Fig. l a yoke 11' lln'hh'tr f projections and is secured to band 3% and body 1 b3- rivets 4'. and said yolte isadaptml to be supported by a bracket 1'2. as by a screw or bolt 13 passing through the same. .t suitable burner 14 may he carried by lamp body Yes indicated. or in other suitable manner, ate" the'lamp body may be provided with snitnblc air holes, '15;

in l 3 and 2; the yolte it. instead f being rigidly attacoed to the lamp body, is 'movablv attached thereto by means of bolts to passing through the side members of the yoke and through the projections 3, a lit-sec- IT by preference being interposed. Serena or stud 13 may pass through any suitable bracket. such as 12, in manner before de scribed for holding yoke 11 in position, and the lamp body may he tilted and set in Ge sired osition by operating the bolts 1.

In *igJ- 5 the yoire ll shown secure; to

band 3 and the. lamp body substaniiaiiy as i in Fig. l. and the bolt 33 passes throu holding bars 17 that: rest upon the fr iii" of the automobile. and held bv bolt. By this means the lamp may be adjusted in the desired position. I

\Vhcre the lamp is to he adjnsted on. a.

curved support. such as open the carved goose-neck 18 of an automobile frame, (see Fig. (l). l may extend the projections 3" down to embrace the part it." and bend said projections at 3 to fit snugly against,

the part 18", and connect the projections 3 by bolts 20, and in order to assist in bracing the projections 3 at the curved portion of frame part 18 to give the lamp an upright position, 1 may apply a block 21 within part 18 and provide said block with a threaded extension 21 receiving nut 22, which block may be curved at its corners to enable it to be jammed in the channel of part 1 a to aid in supporting the projections 3 in the desired position.

Having now described my invention what I claim is r 1. it lamp comprising a body, reinforcing bands extending alongthe inner surface of said body on opposite sides and secured to said body, said bands projecting through the lower portion of the body, and supporting means attached to said bands.

2. A lamp comprising a body, reinforcing bands within said body and extending along substantial alinement with the inner surface thereof on opposite sides of the body, said bands being secured to the body near the upper and lower parts thereof, said bands having; projections extending through the lower portion of the body, and supporting means attached to said bands.

3. A lamp comprising a bod y, reinforcing bands located within the body on opposite sides thereof and secured to said body, said bands having portions projecting through the lower portion of the body, a support for the lamp, and means for movably connecting said support with said. projections.

t. A lamp comprising a body, reinforcing bands extending along the surface of the body on opposite sides thereof, a yoke at front of the edge portion of thcrclltctor and having a flange extending outwardly beyond the reflector and beaiingagainst the rear wall of the lamp, the lamp body having brackets in front of the (tango, and screws carried by the brackets and bcarii'ig against said flange to push the latter against the rear wall of the lamp body, whereby the frame retains the reflector against the rear wall oi. the lamp. I

(3. A lamp comprising a body, reinforcing bands extending along the inner surface or the body on opposite sides and secured to said body, brackets connected with said bands, a reflector at the rear of the lamp body, a frame receiving said rellectoand having a portion bearing against the margin of the latter, said frame having a radial flange bearing againstthe rear wall of the lamp body, and screws carried by said brackets and bearing against said flange to hold the latter against the lamp body for rctaiir in the reflector between the lamp body and said :trame.
